by: The Beat Asia

If you’re in Bangkok, or planning a visit soon, there’s one glittering stop you won’t want to miss. Global design house Tiffany & Co. has unveiled its first-ever exhibition in Thailand, 'Legendary Legacy,' now open at One Bangkok, Tower 4, until September 7. It’s a rare opportunity to step inside the world of Jean Schlumberger, the visionary designer whose fantastical creations helped define Tiffany’s identity in the 20th century.

The house's archives on view at Legendary Legacy — By Instagram/ Tiffany & Co.

The exhibition unfolds across five immersive galleries, each themed around Schlumberger’s inspirations, from the lush tropics of Guadeloupe to the depths of the sea and the symbolism of flight. More than 50 archival pieces are on display, including the whimsical Elephant Head Clip and the vibrant Big Bird Clip, both showcasing Schlumberger’s signature blend of surrealism and technical brilliance.

The legendary Tiffany Diamond on view — By Instagram/ Tiffany & Co.

But nothing catches more attention than the 128.54-carat Tiffany Diamond does, which is presented in its fifth and newest setting. “Discovered over 150 years ago, this extraordinary 128.54-carat stone is one of the largest and most important yellow diamonds in the world,” wrote the house on its social media.

Inspired by Schlumberger’s iconic Bird on a Rock brooch, the design features five diamond-encrusted birds in flight, encircling the radiant yellow gem. The piece took nearly 2,000 hours to complete, a testament to Tiffany’s unmatched craftsmanship.

Also featured are highlights from Tiffany’s Blue Book 2025: Sea of Wonder collection, which reimagines oceanic beauty through abstract and figurative designs.

Exhibition view of Legendary Legacy — By Instagram/ Tiffany & Co.

Admission is free to the public until September 7, and visitors can register via Tiffany’s exhibition site or through the brand’s official LINE account. Whether you’re a jewelry enthusiastic, a design lover, or simply seeking a moment of glittering wonder, Legendary Legacy offers a rare glimpse into the artistry behind one of the world’s most iconic luxury houses.

Bangkok International Film Festival Returns to Reignite Thai Cinema

by: The Beat Asia

August 22, 2025

by: The Beat Asia

After nearly two decades of silence, the Bangkok International Film Festival (BKKIFF) is making a bold comeback, and it’s not just about screening films, but also reshaping Thailand’s cinematic identity and positioning Bangkok as Southeast Asia’s next major film hub.

Official poster of Courtesy of BKKIFF 2025 — Courtesy of BKKIFF

Running from Sept. 27 to Oct. 15, 2025, BKKIFF 2025 marks a new chapter for the festival, which last held its edition in 2009. This revival is spearheaded by the Department of Cultural Promotion (DCP) under the Ministry of Culture and the newly formed Thailand Creative Culture Agency (THACCA), with a clear mission: to elevate Thai cinema on the global stage and foster international collaboration.

The festival’s theme, "Power in Collaboration," reflects its ambition to unite government, private sector, artists, and audiences in a shared cultural movement. “The film industry is one of the core elements of Thailand’s soft power,” said Dr. Surapong Suebwonglee, Chairman of the BKKIFF Organizing Committee. “It powerfully conveys our stories, ways of life, culture, and creativity to global audiences”.

BKKIFF 2025 promises to be the largest film festival in Southeast Asia, with over 200 films from more than 40 countries. The lineup spans features, shorts, documentaries, and animations, with a strong emphasis on recent releases, those that premiered within the past year, to qualify. The festival will also host masterclasses, panel discussions, and a robust film market, including over50 booths from Thai producers and industry stakeholders.

A major highlight is the Asian and Thai Project Pitching sessions, offering a total prize pool of US$25,000 to support emerging filmmakers. The festival’s opening ceremony on Sept. 29, 2025 at ICONSIAM’s Pinnacle Hall will feature the world premiere of Tee Yod 3 (Ghost Whisperer 3), the latest installment in Thailand’s highest-grossing horror franchise.

Screenings will take place across Bangkok’s leading cinemas, including Major Cineplex, SF Cinema, House Samyan, and Lido Connect. For Gen Z and younger millennials, BKKIFF may be a new name, but its return signals a renewed commitment to storytelling, creativity, and cultural exchange.

With over 100 short film submissions received within days of its open call, the excitement is palpable.
